Impact Sengun limped off the floor in the fourth quarter and exited to the locker room. Usman Garuba will likely see an uptick in minutes if Sengun is unable to return.

Picks up foot injury Sengun was forced out of Thursday's contest against the Heat with a foot injury, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.
Grabs 16 boards Tuesday Sengun totaled 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 win over the Suns.
Impact Sengun continues to log fewer than 30 minutes despite the fact he is locked in as the starter. The coaching staff seems very resistant to giving him a typical starter's minutes, putting a bit of a cap on his overall upside. With that said, he still managed to record his eighth double-double of the season, as the Rockets won back-to-back games for just the second time. While he may not reach the heights some foresaw coming into the season, he should be a solid top-90 option ROS.

Johnson's hot start helps Spurs beat Rockets, end skid at 11
Keldon Johnson had 32 points and the San Antonio Spurs snapped an 11-game losing streak, beating the Houston Rockets on 118-109DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Limited by foul trouble Monday Sengun fouled out of Monday's 132-123 double-overtime victory over Philadelphia after recording eight points (4-9 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes.
Impact Sengun picked up a few early fouls in the victory but still managed to see 34 minutes of playing time. Coming up against Joel Embiid is never an easy task, something that we saw once again in this matchup. While his playing time has been frustrating of late, he did play the entirety of both overtime periods here, an indication that he is still the preferred option when it comes to the center position.

Golden State is looking to extend its nine-game home win streak with a victory against HoustonDECEMBER 3, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Another double-double Sengun recorded 18 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-100 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Another game, another contest in which Sengun made an impact on both ends of the court. He's recorded six double-doubles -- including two in his last three games -- and he's also recorded more than 15 points in each of those three outings. The second-year big man is averaging 15.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per contest, figures that represent a massive upgrade compared to what he accomplished in his rookie season.

He added eight points in the quarter on 4-of-8 shooting to go along with three assists, two steals and a block. Sengun collected 13 of his game- and season-high 19 rebounds in the second half while reaching the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season. The double-double was his fifth of the season.

Will play Saturday Sengun (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Impact After a one-game absence, Sengun is back in the fold. This month, he's averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.4 minutes.

Probable Saturday Sengun (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's matchup with the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Sengun missed Friday's victory over the Hawks due to a strained right groin. His potential quick return indicates the issue is not too serious. Final confirmation of his status should come closer to tipoff.

Ruled out Friday Sengun (groin) will not suit up against the Hawks on Friday, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Impact As expected, Sengun will sit the first leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set due to a strained right groin. His absence aligns with the return of Bruno Fernando (knee), who hasn't played since the second game of the season, meaning Fernando and Usman Garuba will handle most of the center minutes. Sengun may return to action for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Latest to land on injury report Sengun (groin) is expected to miss Friday's game against Atlanta due to a strained right groin.
Impact A rash of injuries and illnesses continue to mar the start of the NBA season, and Sengun is just the latest impact fantasy player to land on the report. He apparently picked up the groin strain against the Warriors on Sunday, though the Rockets did not disclose it until Thursday's injury report. The expectation is that Sengun will miss at least one game, but Houston is entering a back-to-back so chances are he'll probably sit both halves of that. Houston may get Bruno Fernando (knee) back Friday, however, so that would help ease the blow of losing Sengun.

Good to go Sunday Sengun (groin) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Golden State.
Impact Sengun was questionable coming in due to a minor groin issue, but he's ultimately been given the green light to play. The big man will start at his usual center spot. He's coming off of an 11-point, nine-rebound, four-assist, one-steal effort in Friday's loss to Indiana.

Considered game-time decision Sengun (groin) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Sengun went through the Rockets' morning shootaround ahead of Sunday's game, but he continues to be evaluated by the team's medical staff. He'll presumably test things out in pregame warmups, but the team homes he'll be able to play through his right groin soreness.

Present for shootaround, still iffy Sengun (groin) went through the Rockets' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
Impact Sengun was seen going through drills Sunday and even took part in some basket-to-basket sprinting, which seemingly bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday. The Rockets are unlikely to provide an update on Sengun until the team begins warming up approximately 30 minutes before Sunday's 7 p.m. ET opening tip. Sengun has started each of Houston's last 11 games and is averaging 15.5 points, 8.2 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.6 steals in 27.3 minutes per contest while shooting 53.5 percent from the field during that stretch.

Questionable vs. Warriors Sengun is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors due to right groin soreness.
Impact Sengun has played well since joining the starting lineup, though he continues to get in foul trouble relatively often. Over the past 11 games, he's averaged 15.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 blocks. If he sits out Sunday, more minutes could be in store for Usman Garuba, Kenyon Martin and Tari Eason.

The 20-year-old has shot 56.4 percent from the floor over the last 10 matchups and has averaged 16.0 points and 8.1 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game during that time.
